Everything about technology amazes me; from the actual gadget all the way to the background behind that technology. What if you were able to Tweet straight from your TV while you are watching your favorite shows? I have been reading about a new service that is available from Verizon FiOS. What is Verizon FiOS?
Verizon FiOS products are delivered over a Fiber to the premises network using passive optical network technology. Voice, video, and data travel over three wavelengths in the infrared spectrum.
In other words, technology is growing so fast and is getting faster and is able to meet more of our needs. This means SPEED.

I never thought that a service like this would be available, let alone possible. If you’re watching your favorite TV show, you can actually log into Twitter on your TV and see what people are Tweeting live about that show as you’re watching in real time. If you are big in to Twitter, you probably are amazed like I am. This is so cool to even have the capability to do this! If you are on your TV, you can even connect to Facebook or anywhere on the internet; straight from your TV.
Video that’s in demand is available on-demand from Verizon FiOS TV. Recent programming additions to the company’s all-fiber-optic FiOS TV service have increased its Video on Demand (VOD) collection to more than18,000 titles per month. That’s nearly twice the VOD offering from the country’s largest cable provider.
In recent months Verizon also has added some 1,000 new high-definition titles to FiOS TV VOD — expanding its collection by 70 percent — to give subscribers a choice of more than 2,400 monthly VOD programs in HD.
“When it comes to watching what you want, when you want, FiOS TV is the clear choice over cable,” said Tricia Lynch, vice president of video-on-demand programming at Verizon. “Our all-fiber network delivers the ultimate VOD experience, with stunning picture and sound, pure HD, and a wide variety of programming for everyone in the family.”
Just last month, Verizon enhanced FiOS TV VOD with new HD on-demand content from HBO, Cinemax, Starz and The Movie Channel, along with an additional 140 hours of movies on-demand from Encore.
FiOS TV offers a broad collection of programming, with 500 all-digital channels, including more than 123 HD channels.
Are you in to, or is your husband, in to Fantasy Football? My hubby sure is! What if you were able to have the ability to do your Fantasy Draft and keep tabs on your Fantasy Football? This service also offers an innovative Interactive Media Guide that provides next-generation, personalized interactive services, including free Facebook and Twitter social media applications, news and entertainment widgets, ESPN Fantasy Football, a robust search engine, and many other features. Here is a video to show more about Verizon FiOS

I acn definitely see my husband watching ESPN while using Facebook. He’d love it!!!
I feel Verizon FIOS is going to be huge and with the fiber optic
it will be like going from black and white to color TV.I like
all the channels, 320 digital channels and up to 114 local and national HDTV channels,not to mention On Demand.The first show I
will watch will be my favorite The Good Wife.The question I have
to ask is when am I going to find time to blog with all of this
to watch ?
i wish i could get fios it looks great! i think Paranormal would be fun because i wouldn’t be as scared watching it lol.

II have always heard that FiOS is great but have not wanted to go to the trouble of switching. I don’t think I would watch a movie and chat but I’m sure my sons would like your husband’s fantasy football scenario.
I could see my sister and I (who live on opposite coasts) tweeting while watching grey’s anatomy
I’d love to see several CNN shows.

I like the idea of video on demand without cable. We haven’t had cable for years, but I’ll check out FIOS when it comes to my area.
We have FIOS and we like it. I’d say Fringe would be my show.

Firstly, FiOS is *awesome* – we’ve got it through our electric company and it’s fantastic! It means we can keep up with all the late night talk shows (especially Craig Ferguson!) and still play games and download, all at the same time!

I worked for a little while in tech support for Verizon dsl and Fios is definately the best of the best. I didn’t work in that department so I don’t know alot about it but I do know that it is super fast and would be wonderful to have.
I agree with the poster above that said Survivor would be a good show to use this technology with. Another good show to use it with would be the Amazing Race. Thanks for the giveaway!
I think FIOS is a cool concept. I’d use it with something such as Survivor.

FiOS is AWESOME! My building is in D.C. and is one of the first (and only) apartment buildings wired for FiOS. I can’t wait until the lines are installed and FiOS is finally available in D.C. Comcast is the cable company here, and it is terrible.
I’d love to watch The Hours while keeping up with social media!
